Hey friends!
We are down in the studio finishing up album 2.  It's coming together really, really well.  I wanted to share a clip from our last live stream, though, because I think it's right up all of your alleys

Interesting topic. I think it's not really realated to place you live in, however it might be the case that access to music had been better in US than, for instance, in Eastern Europe back then. It's not the case now, when we all have internets and streaming platforms, though.
I see it that way - some people, like me and you, don't grow out of being metal head; some change their taste, some stick to old tunes. I, personally, haven't heard last few Korn/Slipknot/Sepultura albums, but when I listen to it - I still love it. When it happens to be in a concert, I love to mosh (don't have enough stamina to do it all set long, though ;). On the other hand, I remember my colleagues who wore Slayer/Cannibal Corpse tshirts being 13yo and now they listen to radio and some light pop stuff. Not really listen to, just knowing them because they are broadcasted. In other words, they are no longer 'in music' as we are.
Just like with the other things - everyone collects stamps for a while, some do it for life.
 

Helter Skelter has first time issues of a couple of classic Deranged albums. Admittedly I am late on this band but as a huge fan of early CC and Suffo its impossible not to like this, especially High On Blood.

Death represses up at relapse 

Dont know about you guys but I prefer older Intronaut material and am very excited about this press of Challenger by Intronaut. Translation Loss is such a kickass label plus their vinyl always looks great

In case any fans missed it, some real gems in the oral history of the album:

I couldn't find a variant that matched my couch. I'm jealous. 

Found some good, groovy post-metal. Doesn't hit you over the head with riffs, but it was interesting enough to keep me listening. Like a heavier L'Effondras.

He's like, the most gentle person you could ever imagine.  A total sweetheart. 


Meanwhile, this bad boy turns 22 today.
 
 

Well, that, and also for taking bathroom mirror selfies when mom's not home.

Bands/labels never loose money from flippers, quite the opposite.

From OMG’s IG:
 
 

I would live your best life, call eBay on the phone when you have time, and just relay that you believe the feedback is unwarranted and why. If you have extra time and they tell you “no”, hang up and call back a few times until you find someone who gets your situation. In the end, if they still won’t remove it, I’d just offer a good riddance to the whole thing and enjoy seeing the negative feedback fade from the 1 month column to the 6 month column and then, eventually, out of view. eBay and Discogs buyers can drive you wild if you try and meet them in their arena of dumbness. Build up that zen brain for when you get an especially zany one. ✌🏽

Looks like my local Walmart got some copies ahead of release date 
 

You're mostly right, but I should clarify. I still appreciate and enjoy ALL the music I grew up listening to. KoRn is one of the best live bands I've ever seen. I adore metal (and really all forms of rock). I didn't exactly grow out of it in the sense that "I'm better than that," if anything I'm worse because I do still listen to punk a lot. Punk is, usually, much less complex. Metal's just not something I listen to frequently. I own Slipknot s/t, but no KoRn records. I would still LOVE to see Slipknot, Rob Zombie, etc live. I've seen KoRn, Manson, Cradle of Filth, Cold, and some others once (would again). I still have tickets to see Deftones in August (if that still happens).
TL;DR- I didn't "mature" out if it, but I don't listen frequently and still appreciate it. I mean, I still know and can keep up with Corey on the intro to Spit It Out.
 
Post Script- I also became more and more depressed as I got older (and life happened all around me) so I find solace in depressed singer songwriter types. Recently discovered Greet Death, kinda fun doom fuzz band from Wisconsin. They're metal, but also satisfy my need to equate music to my mood.

I knew you were from the U.S. when I read this.  Can people outside of the U.S. confirm the idea that you don't really grow out of being a metal head?  I'm from the United States and feel kind of sad that most of my friends who I listened to such bands as Korn and Slipknot with growing up also grew up and grew out of loud music.  Fuck that, 40 years old and metal head till I die.  Bring it on.  Yeah Slipknot isn't remaking Iowa over and over, but for a band who have become mainstream, their last few albums are bad ass.  Personally, I've only expanded my loud music tastes, new bands, old bands, bands that were big when I was in high school 20 years ago, I'll take it all and still tear up the pit at a show.  But I hear over seas you don't see that as much, this idea of growing out of it.  If you grew up listening to metal, you always will.
 
And guy I quoted, maybe you just meant Korn and Slipknot or "nu metal" specifically and still like metal, I'm just guessing, here.  Probably making an idiot out of myself that's why I don't post often but I'm quarantined and drinking I figure why not conversate, right?  No hate, it's all love.  I'm buzzed, but not on Slipknot whiskey.
 
Come on.  Unsainted and All Out Life (thought technically not a We Are Not Your Kind track) are two of the most fun energetic Slipknot tracks to date.  There were some weak "singing" points of the album I'm willing to admit.  But overall for a radio band, it's heavy and they did a good job.

100 bucks for the album? Was interested up to that point. 

Looks like limited to 500 to me

1) yeah, I hate it when labels have different prices only due to the vinyl color
2) would have loved a 2xLP...

Hey! 
 
So I have a podcast that I wanted to more with so I started a cassette label with my best friend. 
 
my podcast is called Vinyl Reckoning and can be found anywhere
 
the label is called VRP Records and we release whatever we want. We split profits 50/50 with our bands. 
 
our first release is by a band called Minuano from Austin TX.  (bandcamp link)
 
our store link is (RIGHT HERE)
 
you can also follow us on instagram @vinyl_reckoning

They added "All four records are" to that line. It wasn't there earlier.
Yea, that is excessive for 4 45s.

Here ya go. It's more of an amber/orangeish. 

I am fully here for the Spice Girls vinyl and absolutely chuffed to be able to have this slice from my childhood in my collection, and I'll remember back to the days I would hide my Spice Girls cassettes inside Oasis and Blur cases so no one would know about my amazing tastes in music!
